GOPers press for release of JFK, Epstein files as lawmakers demand transparency

Republicans are pressing the Justice Department to release classified documents and records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and other federal secrets due to pressure from lawmakers, some of whom have ties to victims of financier Jeffrey Epstein. The department has so far resisted releasing these files, citing concerns over national security and individual privacy. GOPers argue that secrecy surrounding these documents is unacceptable given their historical significance. They are pushing for the release of previously withheld records as part of a broader effort to shed light on government transparency.
